3CX Hosted and Compatibility for Loud/Office Ringer and PA

[Chris Wheeler]

I have a client who would like to move to 3CX Hosted. They have three locations that would be part of the system.
One location currently has a Loud Ringer (Algo 8180) and another location has a Snow PA1 that ties into their paging setup.

It looks like the Snom is no longer supported behind the SBC as of v18 and I was going to replace the Algo with a Cyberdata Office Ringer, but that also is not supported behind the SBC in the hosted setup.

I wanted to see if anyone had suggestions for alternative options for these two scenarios on a 3CX Hosted setup.

As far as the ringer is concerned, if you are unable to find a SIP device that works for you, you might consider a supported ATA, coupled with any "regular" analogue, loud, signaling device, on the market. Availability/selection of these tends to be a bit more varied.

Hello,

You could consider the Grandstream GSC Series: https://www.3cx.com/sip-phones/grandstream-gsc35-series/

Or if you want to use your own speaker and make it IP-capable, the Fanvil PA2: https://www.3cx.com/sip-phones/fanvil-sip-doorphones/

Thanks. It looks like the PA2 can replace the Snom PA1. IT may also replace the Algo. Have you used the PA2 before? Im just trying to verify it will ring if the auto answer is disable and a speaker attached.

I don't have access to one at the moment, best to lookup the PA2 specs and manual to be sure it does what you want.
